What’s On In Berkshire?

Early this year we discussed the many wonderful activities that you and your family/friends can enjoy in the Reading and Berkshire area during the summer time. However, as the season draws to a close and we enter the autumn and winter seasons, is there anything fun to do in Reading or Berkshire?

Stay Warm – Book A Reading Taxi Home

During the warmer summer months, it can be fun to enjoy an evening walk home with family or friends. However, as the nights get colder during autumn and winter, keep you and your family warm and out of the cold evening chill with a private taxi service.

What’s On In Berkshire This Year?

There are lots to do in the Berkshire area in autumn and winter 2018, so when you’re organising your next day/evening out – give Loddon Cars a call and book your taxi today.

OktoberfestIf you want to join in the Oktoberfest fun this year in Berkshire, it’s important to pre-book your taxi travel. Just think; how many people will be out having fun taking part in the festivities. If you leave your taxi planning to the night and queue-up at a local taxi rank, you’ll likely be faced with large queues.

This year from the 11th to the 14th of October in Station Hill, Reading there will be a glorious celebration filled with German brew, bratwurst, and other Bavarian delicacies. On the Thursday things will begin with free entry to the Beer Tent with an Open Haus night which starts at 6pm and runs until 11pm. However, if you would like to guarantee yourself a seat, a pint of beer, and a bratwurst – tickets are available for just £10.

However, Oktoberfest really gets started on the Friday as the first major session starts Friday at 6pm. People attending the festival will be able to enjoy live music and other forms of entertainment. So gather your friends and enjoy in celebrations filled with live music, tasty food, and delicious beer.

However, instead of leaving your travel arrangement to the last moment or asking a friend to be the designated driver ; instead pre-book your taxi with the Loddon Cars app. The GPS makes it easy to know where your taxi is and our talented drivers will provide you with a relaxing ride home after the Oktoberfest celebrations.

Reading Comic ConFans of comic books, superheroes, and other pop culture icons will be able to ‘get their nerd on’ at the Reading Comic Con this year as guests include an American Wrestler and a Marvel super villain!

The selection of guests include Marvel super villain actor – Ross Marquand (Red Skull – Avengers Infinity War) who has also starred in the popular television series The Walking Dead adapted from the comic book of the same name. Additionally, convention goers will be able to enjoy guests, including a selection of actors from the Emmy Award Winning HBO show – Game of Thrones.

If you’re arranging travel to Comic Con with a group of friends, we have a selection of spacious vehicles to choose from for group travel including two six seat cars, the Ford Galaxy and the VW Sharan. However, if you need additional transportation, there’s the Mercedes Vito and the VW Transporter which both can hold up to eight passengers.

Windsor Half MarathonLocated in both Windsor and Maidenhead, those who are taking part or supporting friends/family will need high quality and relaxing transportation so don’t drive yourself, instead treat yourself to luxury travel in one of our executive class cars such as the Volvo S80 or the Mercedes E Class.

This half marathon is a luxurious event, held in the surroundings of Windsor, the race starts with the backdrop of the historic Windsor Castle. Indeed, for those who want to enjoy a half marathon in the United Kingdom, the Windsor half marathon is considered by many to be a ‘Must-Do event’.

There’s not long to go until the big day. The half marathon takes place on the 30th of September and starts at 10am; so don’t leave your transport arrangements until the last moment, book early and enjoy yourself.

With regards to the racing, many will be interested in The Betfred Challenge Cup, which is the most valuable seven furlong handicap in Europe at £150,00. However, if you are more interested in the beer festival, you’ll be able to browse through a selection of over 250 different real ales.

The beer festival will celebrate local breweries from the Berkshire area, as well as some brews from other surrounding counties and breweries from the Black Country. However, the beer festival is not limited to beer and real ale, cider lovers will also be able to quench their thirst from a choice of thirty ciders, including a selection of ciders from local producers.

As we discussed in a previous blog, it is possible for you to be over the drink drive limit after a single drink. The penalties of drink driving can be very severe so don’t risk it, book a taxi instead.

If you're searching for a reliable and relaxing Reading taxi service to transport you in comfort and luxury to and from an event in Barkshire this Autumn/Winter, place your trust in Loddon Cars.
